Animal Crossing: New Horizons and DOOM Eternal fans may have played nice during their games’ respective launches, but soon they’ll be going head to head to see which one wins Game of the Year at this year’s The Game Awards 2020 event. Other titles they’ll be going up against include Final Fantasy VII Remake, Ghost of Tsushima, Hades, and The Last of Us Part 2, and some of the categories have their own surprises in store.
One example, for instance, is the Best Fighting Game category, which includes heavy hitters like Street Fighter V and Mortal Kombat 11 alongside more hardcore fighters like Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r], Granblue Fantasy Versus, and… One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows. Sure, why not!
